MP Onion Prices Crash! Big Blow to Farmers, Average Rate Hits ₹880 per Quintal

Madhya Pradesh’s wholesale onion market witnessed a sharp decline in prices during November 2025. The state’s average wholesale rate stood at ₹880.51 per quintal, significantly lower than previous months. While a few districts showed stable or slightly improved prices, most regions recorded a steep fall, putting the overall onion market under bearish pressure.

A comparison with November 2024 shows a mixed trend, where prices in some districts had crossed ₹4,000 per quintal, while several others had dropped below ₹1,000. This year, however, the decline was widespread, affecting both farmers and traders.

Satna Records the Highest Price at ₹2,500 per Quintal:

Among all districts, Satna remained the only region to report the highest average price ₹2,500 per quintal. Strong local demand and the arrival of high-quality produce supported the elevated price levels in the district.

Bhopal, Dewas, and Mandsaur See Major Declines:

Wholesale onion rates fell sharply in Bhopal (₹625.32), Dewas (₹415.05), and Mandsaur (₹410.93), where prices remained between ₹500–₹650 per quintal. Heavy arrivals, reduced demand, and inferior crop quality were the major factors behind the drop.

Rajgarh and Sehore Hit the Lowest Price Levels:

1. Rajgarh: ₹306.48/quintal
2. Sehore: ₹263.92/quintal

These figures were far below the state average. Abundant supply and sluggish trading activity pushed prices to historic lows in these districts.

Some Districts Show Strong Market Sentiment:

Despite the overall downturn, a few regions witnessed stronger price trends due to better-quality arrivals and good demand. Notable among them were:

1. Hoshangabad: ₹1,341.10
2. Jabalpur: ₹1,648.05 (Second-highest in the state)
3. Raisen: ₹1,285.71

These markets, prices ranged between ₹1,200–₹1,600 per quintal, reflecting positive trade sentiment.

Districts With Prices in the 450–700 Range:

Several districts recorded moderate rates between ₹450–₹700 per quintal, indicating oversupply and soft demand:

1. Indore: ₹738.43
2. Neemuch: ₹699.47
3. Khandwa: ₹647.93
4. Ratlam: ₹582.71
5. Ujjain: ₹462.08
6. Shajapur: ₹464.02

These rates further contributed to the state’s low overall average for the month.

Statewide Average Drops to ₹880.51 per Quintal: With many markets under pressure, the state’s average wholesale onion price settled at just ₹880.51 per quintal in November 2025. The large gap between high and low price bands indicates uneven market conditions driven by quality variations, supply imbalances, and inconsistent demand.
